Before the game I predicted an Aggies victory with a score of 21-17. I was one point of on the score and had the wrong team winning.
An Aggies victory was looking promising through about 3.5 quarters. Freshman Quarterback Johnny Manziel wowed everyone in the stadium and has every Texas A&M fan, both alive and dead jittery with excitement about the future. A&M's defense was looking solid...

So its the 2001 NCAA Division I-A football season, i'm in 7th grade living here in Los Angeles, home of the PAC-10, at the time, and home to both USC and UCLA, who went 6-6 and 7-4 during that season, but everyone is in love with Miami (very great team) and Nebraska playing for the BCS National Championship in my backyard the Rose Bowl. I remember playing in the after school flag football ...

The 4-3
As stated before, the Aggies will be changing to a 4-3 look for their first year in the SEC. Before we dissect some of the scheme it should be noted that new D-Coordinator Mark Snyder has an impeccable resume with the 4-3 defense, including a National Championship with the Ohio State Buckeyes. That NC defense included players such as Chris Gamble, Mike Doss, Will Smith, AJ Hawk and Matt...

Part of the many transitions that Texas A&M will go through in its inaugural season in the SEC is changing from the 3-4 to a Multiple look with a 4-3 base. In part one I will discuss some benefits and risks of the 3-4. The reason behind discussing the past is because former Aggies D-Coordinator Tim DeRuyter had recruited personnel for the 3-4 defense for the last 3 years. It may seem subtle...

GAME: #22 Florida vs #23 South Carolina
Where: Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, a.k.a The Swamp
At Stake: SEC East Championship
Where can I watch? : ESPN @ 7pm
The Florida Gators can salvage their season this Saturday against the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Swamp. This possibility laid latent in the minds of Gator fans after a brutal 3 game stretch in October that saw the Gators lose 3 strai...

After 2 weeks of self imposed exile and mourning, due to the horrific loss suffered at the hands of the Mississippi State Bulldogs, I have returned. The Gators lost to Mississippi State at home for the first time in about a half century, in a game where the rotting offense managed to put up a measly touchdown en route to a 10-7 loss, the 3rd consecutive regular season loss this year. That w...

Oh how the mighty have fallen.
It was only two weeks ago that Florida was undefeated, ranked in the top 10, and talking about playing for the national championship. Then came the crushing loss in Tuscaloosa to then #1 Alabama and a week later the heartbreaking loss at home to #9 LSU. Now all the talk is about playing for a piece of the SEC East championship, which the Gators can still wi...

GAME: #7 Florida at #1 Alabama
Location: Bryant-Denny Stadium, Tuscaloosa, Capacity 101 000
Where can I watch: CBS at 8pm (eastern)
This game could very well be the “gran daddy” of the regular season. Ever since last year’s SEC Championship game, which pitted the #1 and #2 teams in the nation for the second consecutive year in a de facto national semi final, the players, fans, and med...

#9 Florida finally turned in a performance that Gator fans can point to and say “that is our football team” with some pride. Behind the heroic effort of true freshman “do it all” QB Trey Burton, who scored 5 rushing TDs out of the zone read option and caught another for a school record 6 touchdowns. Not even Tim Tebow scored that many in 1 game. He propelled #9 Florida to a convin...

Florida paid the price for its dismal offensive performance in week 1 by dropping 4 spots in the AP poll to #8 and 3 spots in the coaches poll to #6. That seems fair enough for a Gator squad that managed to have more bad snaps than first downs against a team that nobody would probably even know about if they didn't have the same name as “Da U”.
The “official” excuses ...

It was a tumultuous week in Gainesville but thankfully the weekend is upon us. Even more encouraging is the thought that opening kick off is only 7 days away. Gameday cannot get here fast enough for Florida fans. This week had its fair share of movement and drama for the Florida faithful. All practices have been closed to the media since the beginning of fall camp. So any and al...
